Gruul Monsters takes down Twenty Sided Game Day defeating Charles “Bad Beat” Hagaman in the finals. Billy navigated his unique Monsters build in Gruuling fashion throughout a diverse tournament field of control, Sultai mill, Jeskai burn and a plethora of Abzan decks.

Lirek Kulik went undefeated in the first Competitive Modern constructed event in the Twenty Sided Store Championship series. Lirek’s deck packs several 1 and 2 ofs, attacking and reacting from a variety of angles.

We are proud to announce a new Championship series, #20ssChamps, for all of you competitive Magic players out there! We will have three championship tracks, one each for Limited, Standard and Modern / Legacy.

Regular Events

For each event you play in, starting Monday 9/29/2014 through Saturday 1/10/2015, you will accrue Planeswalker style points towards qualifying for the Championships. For example, if you want to qualify for the Twenty Sided KTK Standard Championship, each Standard tournament you play in earns you points towards that Championship event. The same follows for sealed/draft events and Modern/Legacy events.

Special Saturday Events

On most Saturday nights through December, we’ll host highly competitive events with great prize support. These events will be noted on our calendar as COMPETITIVE and run at Competitive REL. Competitive events will have a 3x multiplier for Twenty Sided Championship points. Unless otherwise noted, these events will have a 1x Planeswalker Point multiplier. All events are subject to player caps.

Championship Qualifier Events

Can’t make it to a ton of these events? Play in the Championship Qualifier event this December! First place qualifies you for the Championship of that track. Each qualifier tournament comes with a 3x multipler.

Magic 2015 Game Day is just around the corner. We have some special prizes for this event along with our regular festivities – notably Garruk’s Axe, Magic 2015 Fat Pack and a GP Boston Dark Confidant Playmat!

At the end of the main portion of the tournament, we will be raffling off the following:
- GP Boston Dark Confidant Playmat
- Magic 2015 Fat Pack
- Garruk’s Axe!

Also if you play and beat Luis during the tournament, you’ll receive:
- one Standard legal pack of your choice (that we have in stock)
- extra entry in the raffle

Ask anyone who played this past weekend’s Magic: The Gathering prerelease and they’ll tell you: Magic 2015 (the latest MTG set hitting shelves this Friday) is one of the most robust core sets we’ve ever seen! And as with all new sets we have a great Sealed event this Saturday to celebrate.

A cursed Planeswalker stalks his prey. You can feel him, he’s after you! Garruk, the relentless green mage, has been corrupted and he’s out for revenge! Will you survive his furious onslaught? There’s only one way to find out: come play in our Magic 2015 Prerelease tournament this weekend (July 12 & 13).

Choose a Color, Take a Stand

You can’t just sit there and let Garruk take over, right? Join in and choose a color – you’ll get a Prerelease package when you show up for the tournament with five boosters of M15, one seeded pack of M15 that leans toward the color you chose, a spin-down die, and more!

Only one undefeated remained entering the final round of the Legacy tournament for a foil Stoneforge Mystic. Death and Taxes faced off against Miracles in the defacto finals. Angels, Jaces and basic lands were too much for the small band of tax collectors to handle. Congrats to Devin Reilly winning first place in Eternal League week 4’s event!

This week’s Eternal League saw a complete absence of Affinity at the top tables in stark contrast to last month’s event. Birthing Pod decks completely dominated and the best performing decks were green, one way or another.

It has been quite the quest starting with Theros and now completing with a Journey Into Nyx! April 26th to 27th we’ll be running prerelease events for this new Magic set. We will have our regular schedule, but with one wrinkle that we think you’ll all appreciate.

We are currently taking in-store signups for all these events. You can sign up online as well:

We are really excited about our Eternal League and the competitive outlet it will provide for players looking to play in older formats.

There a couple things to note:
- Rules Enforcement Level for these events are all Competitive
- Decklists for all events are required
- Each event is a sanctioned Magic: The Gathering event, i.e. proxies of any kind are not permitted

We’re really excited to offer this opportunity to you. Cube is one of our favorite formats, and we’ve always been trying to figure out how to make more cube drafts happen that fit within our regular events schedule.

- All types of submissions are welcome: powered, unpowered, pauper – whatever you like to draft!
- Typical cube construction, singleton cards only
- No proxies are allowed
- All English cards are highly preferred
- Card alters are acceptable
- Oracle text being on the card is preferred, however
- Offensive card alters are strictly prohibited

Submission Times

We are currently scheduling May, June and July. For this time period we will select unique people, i.e. one person can’t have a cube selected each time (even if they are different cubes – let’s give everyone a chance!). Naturally new Magic sets will be coming out during these times, so we have leeway with exact card lists.

Cube Designers can submit multiple entries, however, only one at most can be accepted.

Starting this April our ALT.Draft program is switching to a Cube Draft League.

Each month Twenty Sided Store will feature a cube designed by one of our players. For an entire month, you can come draft that cube every Monday. The designer will get up to $150 store credit for providing his / her cube for the month!

We’ll have our regular prize payout of one booster pack per match win. In addition, the top two players at the end of the month will win store credit!

We’ll also have Players’ Choice awards. At the end of the month, participating players will submit ballots to select winners for fun bragging rights awards!

Want your GP hotel paid for by the store? Want to win that Judge foil Dark Confidant in the case? Well, start playing in our Saturday Night Eternal Magic League!

Three Saturday nights a month (Prereleases and other special events excepted), we’ll have highly competitive eternal Magic tournaments. Formats will rotate between sanctioned Modern, Legacy and Vintage (yes, Vintage). The buy-in will be higher, but the top-end prize payout will be great.

- Each tournament will have 32 spots available.
- Entry is $30 per event, $25 if you signup early
- Signups will be done entirely in advance

Signing Up

For each event, signups will be done entirely in advance. We’ll start taking in-store presignups on the Monday and Tuesday preceding the tournament. You’ll receive a $5 Early Bird Discount for signing up Monday or Tuesday. Online and in-store signups will be available Wednesday through Friday for $30. Signups will close at midnight on Friday.

April 1st, 2014 is our three-year anniversary. It’s been a wild ride, and we’re always looking to improve. In addition to our huge schedule additions of Cube Draft League and Eternal Magic League, we’re changing a couple things here and there.

Monthly Top 8 Standard

Each month (schedule permitting), we will have a regular Standard Tournament with a cut to top 8. These tournaments, by and large, will be Magic Game Days and Grand Prix Trials. For GP Trials, we will proritize and schedule in the following order:
- Grand Prix events within easy driving distance to NYC, e.g. GP Boston would be weighted higher than GP Portland
- Grand Prix format is Standard, e.g. GP Los Angeles (Standard) would be weighted higher than GP Nashville (Sealed)

FNM Draft Prize Payout

Starting Friday, April 5th our FNM Draft prize payout will change to one pack per match win. All other drafts will be the normal prize payout. Undefeated players will receive an additional prize pack and the regular FNM promo he/she would regularly receive. Winless players will also receive a participation pack provided they play each round.

We want FNM to be a more welcoming environment for newer players, and we think this is a great opportunity to do so.

Saturday Draft Times

We are altering Saturday Draft times slightly. Saturday afternoon draft will now have a 3:30pm signup and 4pm start. Saturday night draft will have a 7pm signup and 7:30pm start.

Note that all night drafts regardless of day now start at the same time (Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday).

Born of the Gods is just around the corner! The second set of Theros block continues the theme of ancient Greek mythology. Expect to see exciting new planeswalkers and gods in this the 63rd (!!) Magic expansion.
